I know I said I wasn’t going to be doing much of What I Wore Wednesdays, but I thought this gem was too good not to share – showing how I haven’t quite overcome my un-style just yet. I have a couple of cute sundresses that are knit and strapless. I don’t do strapless, so I normally wear a shirt under them and then throw on a cardigan over the look. Well, It was a super hot day, so I didn’t have a cardigan on, and one thing led to another and I ended up leaving the house and going out into public with this look:
Not so great, right?! I don’t know what I was thinking! Here’s how I normally wear the same type of dress – and a side-by-side, so you can see how they’re super cute with a cardigan and not so much without:
I wore the brown one with a coral cardigan the other day and it was a cute look, I just forgot to take a picture for you. But without the cardigan – I think it’s a look to avoid. THOUGHTS??
Hey Mandy! Actually I like the t-shirt under the maxi better than the one with the cardigan. I don’t know how it looks in real life, but in the photos, the t-shirt under looks like a regular dress with some color blocking. I kind-a think the cardigan with a maxi is too much. It looks sort of formless to me. But I’m not fashionista either, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Thanks for sharing.
I too prefer it with the t-shirt, I had a dress that was strapless like that, it was a gorgeous black and white floral print and I wore it with a red ribbed tank under it for the cutest look!
I actually thought it looked just fine. I thought it was cute too! I like it better than the cardigan one too.
Oh, I didn’t realize you were wearing a t-shirt under it, I thought it was one dress. I think it looks great just the way it is. I think either way you go, it will look nice, but it looks great without the cardigan!
It actually looks kind of interesting… (Plus I have a feeling we have been shopping in some of the same places.)

I love the light cardigan over the best! Also I do like the tshirt under I just did not like the color combination choice. The blue was too dark for that gray. Maybe a pink or pale yellow would change your mind. I’m not a fan of bold color block look.
